Suzanne Clark, CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, reflected on the consequences when we spoke yesterday. “What happens if you don’t hire a generation of people? How do you create that next layer of leadership? If you have machines doing entry-level work, how do you develop culture?”
“You have to take an interest in building the next generation; it’s perhaps the greatest legacy any of us could have,” said Powell McCormick: “Every CEO and every board member should be asking, what kind of mentoring culture do we have in this company?”
And maybe you have to hire differently. Jasper.ai’s CEO Timothy Young told me recently that, “With the commoditization of intelligence, it’s not about having the smartest people anymore. It’s about developing your staff to have management skills because every employee in the next 12 months is going to have a series of agents that are helping them do their work.” Young, for one, hires for curiosity and resilience. “There is a lot of power in the junior employees but you can’t leverage them the same way that you would in the past.”
